Jinling Prefectural Government Office, Judicial Court.

Xue Hongyi hurriedly ran in from the outside and immediately saw the body with a broken arm lying in the middle. A policeman behind her quickly took out a package, took out a severed arm and moved closer to the corpse.

"Boss, it's indeed the murderer last night!" the detective said.

Xue Hongyi looked at Du Ruo who was sitting on a chair drinking tea in surprise, walked over quickly and asked: "You brat, how did you meet this murderer? Are you not injured?"

Du Ruo slowly put down the teacup, cupped his hands and said, "I have something to do today and am planning to go to the Qinhuai River..."

"What!" Xue Hongyi suddenly became angry and said angrily: "You boy, I told you a long time ago that it is dangerous outside and the murderer has not been caught. It is very likely that the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, but you still go to the Qinhuai River.

Are you the reincarnation of a pervert? You don’t want your life, ah! Have you turned a deaf ear to my words? There will be an exam in two days, and you still..."

"Ahem"

At this time, Magistrate Chen, who was sitting on the public case, coughed hard and said: "Um, Capt. Xue, what do you want to do? Let's talk privately. This is the court, and we should just get down to business!"

All the police officers in the courtroom snickered.

Xue Hongyi looked a little embarrassed and glared at the fast-moving government officials. Suddenly no one dared to laugh. Then she cupped her hands towards Magistrate Chen and said, "I understand."

Magistrate Chen stroked his beard and said: "Captain Xue, I have summoned you to identify the murderer. After all, you have seen and fought against the murderer."

"Sir," Xue Hongyi cupped her hands and said, "It has been confirmed that this is the murderer. When Mr. Du comes to explain the specific situation, the case can basically be closed."

"Okay, okay, that's very good. This person's crimes are extremely evil, but he has caused quite a stir in Jinling." Magistrate Chen said happily.

Du Ruo stood up, cupped his hands and said in salute: "Master Chen, Mr. Xue, the student doesn't know much about this murderer. It's just that when he met this person, the student dealt with him for a while and learned from his mouth

His name is Chen Yue. Because of personal grudges, he once killed a whole family..."

Immediately afterwards, Du Ruo picked out some of the stories Chen Yue told him and told them to Magistrate Chen and Xue Hongyi. Sure enough, just like when Du Ruogang heard Chen Yue's reasons for killing these scholars, the whole court was shocked.

shocked.

What a wonderful flower!

"However, Chen Yue really hates the student's rather good appearance. Alas, this damn charm makes Chen Yue kill the student to vent his anger even if he is seriously injured. Fortunately, the student has also learned some tricks and embroidery.

Bao Shi, who had been seriously injured by the yamen officials, rushed to assassinate the student. He was careless and accidentally died under my knife. Of course, as for Chen Yue's situation, the student did not dare to say for sure, and asked the yamen to investigate.

"

There was silence in the courtroom. Everyone looked at Du Ruo's face, looked at each other, and then looked at the dead Chen Yue, feeling quite embarrassed.

Someone whispered: "Is it because my eyesight is not good... It must be the case, otherwise the murderer wouldn't be so eager to kill..."

…………

At noon, Xue Hongyi and Du Ruo walked on the street together. The fog in Jinling after the rain was hazy and cold, and people's shadows were reflected on the street.

Xue Hongyi is not tall. When walking with Du Ruo, she can only reach Du Ruo's shoulders. However, she is handsome and aura in her red clothes.

"You brat, you killed the murderer and made a great contribution, but it's a pity that you are not from the Yamen, otherwise one could be promoted high." Xue Hongyi said.

"It doesn't matter, you can exchange it for silver coins." Du Ruo said.

Xue Hongyi curled her lips and said: "You are honest, shouldn't you scholars be very noble and not talk about these tacky things?"

Du Ruo gently shook the water droplets from the umbrella in his hand, and said with a chuckle: "Xue Captou, you must have read these in those story novels. Nowadays, scholars are very smart, and there are not many

A person who would treat himself badly just for the sake of his false dignity, not to mention, you have forgotten, I am a businessman, what should I talk about if I don’t talk about money?"

"Okay, okay, you are the only one who makes more sense every day," Xue Hongyi said, "Don't worry, there will be a reward, it should be about one hundred taels."

"Only one hundred taels?" Du Ruo said, holding his tongue, "Isn't the Yamen too stingy?"

"This is already a lot. If Chen Yue's case hadn't been so serious, it might not have been so much. The bounties for many criminal thieves are not so high. This is my salary for a whole year. You

You actually dislike it?" Xue Hongyi said angrily.

"No," Du Ruo frowned and said, "Is the imperial salary so small? Otherwise, Capt. Xue, why don't you just resign and join me? How about I give you five hundred taels a year?"

"Forget it then," Xue Hongyi said: "As expected of a scholar, he has a bright mind and can make money. When I was running around in the world, alas, I never had more than twenty taels of silver. Your martial arts skills are not very good. You just keep your mouth shut.

A few hundred taels.”

Du Ruo shook his head, not knowing what to say.

It was the same in that era. Those who really worked hard were the ones who made the least money. Many people looked glamorous, but in fact they were very weak inside. Of course, most of them still envied Xue Hongyi's iron rice bowl. At least, in one day, the court would

They can live a worry-free life, which is better than wandering in the world.

As for Du Ruo, in fact, in his previous life, it was equivalent to holding a business. The income was naturally very good, but not everyone can do it. Of course, if he is not very rich, it is not necessarily that his flowers

The sales were equally large. This time when he went out, he seemed to have taken out a few hundred taels casually. In fact, it was still a big expense for him, but he was used to spending money lavishly. He would never come back after all his money was gone!

As for asking Xue Hongyi to hang out with him, of course it was a joke. With Xue Hongyi's identity, it is impossible to look down on a small gang like Du Ruo. Moreover, with Xue Hongyi's identity, his salary is just a gangster.

It's just a form.

What's more, the status of a public servant is so good, even if it is an ordinary county government officer, few people are willing to give up their status as a public servant to join a gang.

After seeing Du Ruo to the end of the street, Xue Hongyi said earnestly: "Bad boy, I'm telling you, you're still young, don't go to those houses with hooks and tiles, it's not a good place, and you spend money like water, you have to settle down now

Go to the exam with peace of mind. With the title of being a candidate or a Jinshi, you will have a high status no matter whether you pursue an official career or work in the world. When the time comes, if you can't find any girl you want, why go to a brothel?

Where to plant?"

Du Ruo looked thoughtful and asked: "Really?"

Xue Hongyi said with certainty: "Of course I won't lie to you. Think about it, if you were a candidate for Jinshi, what girl wouldn't like you?"

Du Ruo suddenly lowered his head, looked at Xue Hongyi and asked seriously: "Then, if I want to find Mr. Xue, can you do it?"

"ah!"

Xue Hongyi's eyes widened, and for a moment, her heart suddenly started beating very fast, and her mind was a little confused. She kept thinking about how to explain to Du Ruo that they were not suitable, but she was also worried about hurting Du Ruo's young heart.

, my mind turned over and over again, until I saw the smile hidden at the corner of Du Ruona's mouth!
